Jaguar XE Exhaust Damper Replacement

[@TrackAndBeyond]

The exhaust damper seem to back on eBay! Iv found 2 different listings this one is the cheapest at only £39! www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-JAGUAR-XF-XE-2-0-PETROL-TURBO-REAR-EXHAUST-SILENCER-DAMPER-/184592704837?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0

I had a lot of vibration and sounded like a steel drum. I watched your video and then checked my dampners. One was shot as you described. I ordered a genuine jaguar part off eBay (£40) and have just fit it. Didn’t even need a jack. I think it’s resolved the problem. Great work thanks.

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Awesome stuff 🙌🏼

[@ziahaq9810]

Are the dampners all the same for all xe specs? Would be grateful if you could share the part number or link to what you got as I've noticed mine is shot

[@ziahaq9810]

@@user-gc5zx8us7v thanks a lot for this! The exhasut dampner that was loose on my jag is the left one and I noticed the part numbers seem different for left and right exhaust dampners so I ordered the one with part no T2H49846

[@Merritt7278]

Checked mine, and it had disappeared completely, thanks for the info, ordered one, next day delivery.

[@ElSturge]

I was having a lot of vibration coming through the car at low RPM (not idle) and when coming to a complete stop (but only last a couple of seconds). Thanks to your video I bought a new damper for my exhaust and fitted it today at my works car park and it has completely fixed my issue. I wouldn't have even attempted it if not for you so thank you very much! Looking forward to many more silent miles in the XE

[@TrackAndBeyond]

That’s brilliant news bud! Nice one! ✌🏻

[@davideastwood1358]

The two dampers, one is rigid like you showed on your vehicle but the other has a flange and has more movement even when new. I fitted a new one just like you have shown as the previous was torn like you showed. The is still vibration at low idle speed around 700rpm. The garage said the engine mounts were ok about a month ago when I first took it in for the vibration.

[@ziahaq9810]

I have the same issue, I replaced the dampner that was damaged but I still have some vibration. Is there more than 2 dampners for the exhaust system?

[@TrackAndBeyond]

@ziahaq9810 possibly think 3 are listed but I could only see 2 on mine. If you still have vibration as I said in the video could have engine mount issues

[@ziahaq9810]

@@TrackAndBeyond yh I had a look underneath and there's 3. The only one I had issues with was the left side one on the exhaust which I've replaced. I'm going to get it checked by a local garage on Wednesday as it may be the engine mounts. Thanks for your video! Your channel is a blessing

Thanks for your video Checked out my dampener after hearing clancking sound on tick over £35 for genuine Jaguar part on E bay Five minutes to remove and replace Didn’t even have to jack my car up ! Once again thanks 👍

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Awesome! Glad it helped 😀

[@epic186]

They are harmonic dampers. The 3 of them in the system are for different frequencies. L/H p/n: T2H49846 seams to be the most common failure. No need to jack the car for the rear ones.

[@Nigeltdz]

Thanks mate, not a lot of DIY XE videos out there keep it up 👍🏾

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Thanks bud I’ll try keep them coming 😄

[@josephinnes70]

Another great tip.CHEERS

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Thanks bud 😄

[@shaunmarshall4504]

There 3 exhaust dampers, those 2 and one about half way down the exhaust. After just replacing my engine mounts I had a look underneath

[@merdoca2358]

Hey fella. Just seen your vid then checked my XE and its starting to go, exactly the same as in your video. Ordered a replacement off eBay for £40. Looks easy to fit. I to would like a video on checking/replacing engine mounts. Its great stuff this keep it coming.... Keep my XE in tip top health.

[@babuveettil4738]

Good video...thank you

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Thanks for watching

[@kineticrail]

I know these can have vibration issues I guess the main tell on the exhaust damper is its just the back box that's vibrating. With the engine mounts what would you say would be the main tell tales they are on there way out or even the main signs they have had, it is it more all over vibration and noise

[@TrackAndBeyond]

So with the engine mounts when the car is idling their will always be some vibration of the engine but when they’re when their way out it will be quite a lot of engine vibration. Hope that helps Jason

[@robertewen3322]

Perfect, I just had this picked up on service from Jaguar, £150 tho.. I’ll do it myself I think.

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Yea I would! £40 part from jaguar! 1 bolt easy 😀

[@jamiericketts2143]

[@professorplums722]

Hi, 2017 Jag XE R Sport Auto with all the symptoms you show on yours. However I am getting conflicting information from online that it might be faulty engine mounts, possibly loose vacuum hoses from same mounts versus what you do to fix yours. How do I know which one it is before paying out the money? Great video BTW. Thank you.

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Yea could be both or either one of them individually. It’s easy to see if the exhaust damper is gone as you can just take a look under the car where they are located and go from there 🙂

[@professorplums722]

@@TrackAndBeyond Thank you very much for your quick reply. I will have a nose. One exhaust rubber still has the original label on it which is the good one on your video. I will have a closer look at other one. This has been plaguing me since I got it 2 years ago...thanks again.

[@cacamaca1365]

Another great video about a common problem for this cars, thank you. How many are on exhaust? My exhaust are vibrating a bit, wonder how many are to replace all? Are all the same?

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Thanks for the kind words! I believe theirs just the 2 on the back box I believe pal

[@cacamaca1365]

@@TrackAndBeyond Thank you for answer, definitely is one somewhere in middle, sometime I take a look under the car from side, I think I saw one somewhere in middle, didn't know was 2 in the back. I think in summer I will order and change mine.

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Yea I wasn’t sure if there was one in the middle I didn’t see one When I had a quick look but they’re might well be

Halo I have very unusual problem on my xe steering wheel lock not responding on low temperature,when l press start stop button first time,the steering wheel should unlock,in my case that's doesn't happening 'when engine is in normal temperature than everything works as it should! Could you please give me an advice what's the problem could be? Thank you

[@2mrRB]

Nice video. I have the same problem and i am doubting whether it's the engine mounts or the exhaust damper. One of the dampers is much looser than the other and has some very small cracks in it. Though it is not as bad as yours. How can i tell whether it's the engine mount? I also notice vibrations in the car at idle which increases when selecting D or R, and reduces while in neutral (but still present)

[@TrackAndBeyond]

If one of them is lose I’d change it and see how it is after. as it will need changing any way your not losing any thing. Then see how it is if it’s still bad then will be engine mounts. Does sounds like yours could be engine mounts with vibrations when putting it in to gear

[@2mrRB]

@@TrackAndBeyond thanks for your advice. I will try that My dealer thought it could also be due to the distribution chain as the engine mounts have been replaced some time ago I now have driven 110k kms

[@Oceanzworld]

Hi Having this issue and just ordered replacement part no T2H24915 it does not state left or right and when lookimg at jaguar diagram parts 14 and 15 are same parts 14 and 15 being both being dampers. Did yours state left or right or are they both same as stated in jaguar

[@TrackAndBeyond]

No had the same thing and I can’t tell a difference between any of them so used what I got, looked identical to the one I took off and was all good 🤷🏼‍♂️😅

[@Oceanzworld]

@@TrackAndBeyond what a guy stil replying to post from year ago. Appreciated!! I thought same hence why bought what saw, just wanted to double check. Thanks

[@TrackAndBeyond]

@@Oceanzworld I will always try and help no matter how old the video 😄 yea 100% bud did the trick for me

[@Oceanzworld]

Hi sorry to bother you. Quick question. I have replaced left damper with correct damper as I found out they have different hz for sound but it is still very flexible compared to the right.. After replacing your left was it solid in place. Engine mounts have been replaced few months ago so ino not the issue

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Yea the damper I replaced was pretty firm didn’t flex too much

[@HN-hf7pc]

Thanks for this video. I have changed my damper but now the car doesn't quite feel right. It still shakes a bit more then usual and especially when I'm changing through the gears. Once I touch the accelerator it goes. The part number I used is T4N16376 on a Jaguar XE 2015 R Sport 2.0d. Any idea what it could be?

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Sounds like your engine mounts need replacing too. Very common

[@kevinsammut4216]

@@TrackAndBeyond Part number T2H49846G is the correct one

Absolutely brilliant, where can I buy the part please?

Thanks! So stock seems to be hot or miss everywhere for these lately! Although this was the one I used: ebay.us/hlfQv9 Hope that helps 😀

@@TrackAndBeyond Thank you, I can find RHS ones but not LHS :(

[@UpcycleTV]

@@TrackAndBeyond This one doesn't specify left or right! Will it fit either side do you know?

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Whenever I have been under the car I can’t physically see a difference! I didn’t pay any attention to it and just fitted one I bought

[@UpcycleTV]

@@TrackAndBeyond Well these ones are not handed so I just bought 2 of them

[@kineticrail]

Are these handed as some of the eBay listing have them as RH or LH I wouldn't of thought they would be but if so which is which?

[@TrackAndBeyond]

I’ve read that they are handed however I can’t see why as the 2 on the back box are identical I just bought one and fitted it. Not sure if the one in the middle of the exhaust is any different

[@yourboiblue5421]

When installing the new damper, does the rubber lip need to be pressed against the body of the damper? I've installed mine but it is not rigid like the other 1, I also noticed the other 1 is pressed together (has no gap if that makes sense)

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Yea I get what your saying sounds like you have 2 types of damper to me. The ones I had had the gap and that’s where the original had split, didn’t have a solid one

[@SyedShah-pg1yi]

I changed it as per your instructions but it still keep vibrating?

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Could be engine mounts then bud

[@Tom-iu5yd]

@@TrackAndBeyond Would be great! I don’t really know how to test them, I have some vibrations (now after 100.000 mls). But not that much, so I am not sure if I should change the engine mounts, since they cost about 180€ each… 😅

[@Ricsic6]

Love this car, but Jaguar charge me £350 to fix this issue… feel robbed 😭

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Yea they’re not cheap to get repaired that’s for sure 🥲

[@the-long-game-investor]

I was wondering if u can help. Ive removed mine (split as expected), fit the new one but its vibrating at a very high frequency. No noise but looks like pretty violent vibrations. Does this sound normal

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Hey! Hmm, there are a couple of these dampers on the exhaust system check to see if you can find another one. Also, Could have engine mount failure as that’s pretty common also!

[@the-long-game-investor]

@Track & Beyond hi yeah you were correct, i had a very similar but the wrong damper, so i swapped this for the right one. Thanks for your message and the instructing video!

[@oliverbarrowclough1139]

Hello, what issues would it cause just to keep it off, I’m looking to buy one but the noise at the minute on mine is so irritating

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Wouldn’t particularly say it would cause an issue it would just make the exhaust vibrate I think

[@oliverbarrowclough1139]

I’ve replaced it now it has solved the issue however there is a loud single clanging noise when the car turns on, is it too loose? I put it on pretty tight?

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Could be your engine mounts too buddy

[@ElSturge]

I am having issues when coming to a stop. The car seems to violently vibrate for a second or 2 and then it dies down. Could this exhaust damper be the culprit because the engine mounts are brand new on my XE and my exhaust is currently missing one of the dampers for the exhaust?

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Hmm, I wouldn’t have though the exhaust dampeners could cause the whole car to violently shake. Could be a couple of things though like the balance shaft or the SCR unit. I would probably take it to a garage for a proper look over. Hope that helps Jason

[@ElSturge]

@@TrackAndBeyond I can mainly feel it in the front of the car, through the brake pedal. It doesn't really happen when stopping, but rather when I've fully come to a stop. It's strange. Someone told me it is normal behaviour of the active engine mounts

[@TrackAndBeyond]

I very occasionally get a shudder of vibration when stopping but normally only if i have stopped really quickly and going through the gears fast to a complete stop which I would say is probably normal behaviour

[@ElSturge]

@@TrackAndBeyond ohh good then it's not just me, sometimes I find that I get a bit of a shudder regardless of how quickly I stop, but not often, and only happens when the car has been running for a bit. Something to do with the vacuum in the mounts building up probably

[@TrackAndBeyond]

Yea sounds like it then bud. If it gets worse I’d suggest getting it looked at but if it only happens occasionally I’d say it probably is the engine mount vacuum or maybe lack of when coming to a stop
